Sara Cox had to cut a guest from her BBC Radio 2 show after they made a remark about Matt Hancock.
Sara was presenting the last of her Radio 2 shows of the week. The presenter was busy with her All Requests Friday programme when she spoke to a caller from Devon.
Kicking off the segment, listener Jesse Manaton explained that it's a "brilliant" afternoon, telling Sara: "It's a beautiful Friday, let's have it. Let's rock."

Sara then quizzed her caller on his weekend plans, with Jesse saying: "I was going to go out with my kids, but the lads are going to rule this weekend. Sometimes you've got to prioritise the lads and bin the kids off!" After laughing at the response, Sara continued: "Everyone’s gonna love you for choosing a bit of Queen."
She then asked: "What track are we playing and why, please?" to which Jesse then replied: "We’re playing Don’t Stop Me Now by Queen because Matt Hancock’s a c***!"
Caught off-gurard and clearly taken aback by the sudden outburst, Sara was forced to cut the call and apologised to listeners tuning in across the country.
The radio host said: "Okay, so we’ve got to cut him off there. This is live radio, this kind of thing happens.
"I can only apologise if you’ve got children listening in the car. I’m going to play the tune – huge apologies, it is live. And here’s the song."
Listeners were soon flocking to social media to comment on the outburst.
@mrliamdurkin said: "Give Sara Cox the Sony award. NOW!"
@AnorakAttic tweeted: "So two things we just learned about Radio 2 - they don't pre-record listener calls and they don't use delay! Ahh the joys of the public and live radio, eh! Fair play to Sara Cox for handling it so calmly though. Love how they still played the request regardless too!"
@adamstiffuk commented; "Probably the best bit of radio I've heard from Sara Cox."
@richie_errol wrote: "Hahahah she still played the song though. Fair play."
@girlsluvfooty2 posted: "I nearly crashed my car when I heard that!!! Sara Cox supreme professional."
@Roystonwarrior added: "Hats off to Sara Cox. Caller voicing, er, quite serious dissatisfaction with Matt Hancock from a caller and voiced it in a, erm, somewhat crude way."
